My new work (space)!

So after a few years of being sick and tired of our kitchen table being a place where everything gets thrown such as bills, we had this grand idea to make a new built-in desk. We also thought this would be a good spot if we were to ever get a new iMac (one can only dream)!My dad took the dimensions, made the leg, and built the counter top for us - which was an adventure in itself! We had looked at pre-made counter tops and also plain sheets of laminate. The pre-made ones were around $20, but you had to cut it, and buy the ends for the counter. The sheets were more expensive for about $50. As we did some more searching, we found a sheet of high-definition laminate counter top (the kind I always wanted in our kitchen) for $15! Usually it retails for $100 +, but it had a huge chunk cut out of it. We didn't need the whole sheet, so it didn't really matter that it was damaged.

So we buy this thing - its about 8 feet wide 1 way, and all we have is the Intrepid. So we decide to put it in through the trunk and fold down the seat. All was going smoothly until we bent it a little too much and it snaps in half! It was pretty funny, but we weren't sure it would work anymore. We did some quick measurements to make sure there was still a piece large enough to make our desk - and thank goodness, there was!If you aren't familiar with high-definition laminate, it is a regular counter top made to look like stone. It is glossy/shiny and gives the look of granite. I have used this new desk already and I love it....and I also love the counter top. The only bad thing is, now I want to redo my kitchen!
